Prayers by Heart

Daily prayers, memorized by heart, are a wonderful way for children to stay close to God. Prayers by Heart: The Catholic Children's Prayer Book, was created to support the Archdiocese of Seattle's Faith Formation Standards and designed to introduce young children to the beautiful prayers of our Catholic faith.

Incorporating these prayers and family blessings in their daily life—when they awake, when they eat, at Mass, or before they go to sleep, will help children learn to talk to and listen to God while being reminded of how He is always with them, and how much He loves and cares for them.

Prayers by Heart, only from Saint Mary's Press, presents these prayers and blessings of our Catholic faith in an easy-to-read, beautifully illustrated keepsake that can be personalized for each child. Young people will learn these prayers for a lifetime and develop a deeper personal and communal prayer life as they continue to grow in their relationship with God.
